There are limited data on the trajectory of recovery and long-term functional outcomes after ICH. Most ICH trials have conventionally assessed outcomes at 3 months following the footsteps of ischemic stroke. The ICH Deferoxamine (i-DEF) trial assessed modified Rankin Scale (mRS) longitudinally at pre-specified timepoints from day-7 through the end of the 6-month follow-up period. We evaluated the trajectory of mRS among trial participants and examined the effect of deferoxamine (DFO) on this trajectory. We performed a post-hoc analysis of the i-DEF trial, a multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, futility-design, phase 2 clinical trial, based on the actual treatment received. Favorable outcome was defined as mRS 0-2. A generalized linear mixed model was used to evaluate the outcome trajectory over time, as well as whether the trajectory was altered by DFO, after adjustments for randomization variables, presence of intraventricular hemorrhage and ICH location. A total of 291 subjects were included in analysis (145 placebo and 146 DFO). The proportion of patients with mRS 0-2 continually increased from Day 7 to 180 in both groups (interaction p<0.0001 for time in main effects model), but treatment with DFO favorably altered the trajectory (interaction p=0.0010). Between day 90 and day 180, the DFO group improved (p=0.0001), whereas there was not significant improvement in the placebo arm (p=0.3005). A large proportion of patients continue to improve up to 6 months after ICH. Future ICH trials should assess outcomes past 90 days for a minimum of 6 months. In i-DEF, treatment with deferoxamine seemed to accelerate and alter the trajectory of recovery as assessed by mRS. URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT02175225
